"The diadem is produced in 925 Sterling silver with 25 amethysts, which is HRH Princess Marie's favorite stone, and more than 50 small diamonds that sits at the tip of the flower dust catchers in the French lily." --Previous Message-- : As you can read in the first post from EricS : in the tiara's description, the base is made : of cabochon amethysts. : Amethysts are also dangling at the bottom of : the earrings. : : I find them odd too, like an afterthought to : lend the tiara more substance; they're : disconnected from the flowers above, and I : don't quite understand why amethysts weren't : used in the flowers as well (perhaps in the : stamens) in order to make the design more : cohesive. : : : --Previous Message-- : Are those pierced cabochon saphires in the : base of the tiara? I think I would prefer it : without this base... : : : : : --Previous Message-- : I actually wonder why Princess Marie didn't : debut her new tiara (and matching earrings : which apparently form a set - see below) at : the state banquet for the Chinese President; : with everyone else choosing their less grand : jewelry, it would have been a fitting : occasion to do so. : : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Ah ok, I searched the archive to see if this : was already posted but couldn't find : anything on it. : : : : : : : : :
